Boys Night Out

Boys Night Out was created as a collaborative songwriting effort between guitarist Jeff Davis and vocalist Connor Lovat-Fraser in Burlington, Ontario in 2001. The band rose to prominence with their powerful mix of raw emotion and dynamic musicianship. Known for their energetic live performances and memorable releases like Make Yourself Sick (2003) and the critically acclaimed concept album Trainwreck (2005), the band became a defining voice in the early 2000s emo scene.
The complete discography includes: 2 Song Demo (2001), You Are My Canvas EP (2001), Broken Bones and Bloody Kisses EP (2002), Make Yourself Sick LP(2003), Trainwreck LP (2005), Fifty Million People Can’t Be Wrong EP (2006), Boys Night Out LP (2007), Black Dogs EP (2016), and the compilation of early work, Nevermind 2 (2021).
After a rigorous touring regimen from 2001-2007 with bands such as Fall Out Boy, Armor For Sleep, Saves The Day, Senses Fail, Motion City Soundtrack, Coheed and Cambria and more, they went on hiatus in 2008, leaving fans eager for more but uncertain of their future.
In October 2024, after more than a decade apart, Boys Night Out reunited to perform at Furnace Fest in Birmingham, Alabama, much to the excitement of their loyal fanbase. The announcement was a long-awaited event, sparked primarily by lead vocalist Connor Lovat-Fraser’s desire to reconnect with fans and perform the band’s large catalogue of songs live on stage. However, this reunion came with a twist: the lineup saw new members join the fold. While Lovat-Fraser remained the only original band member, BNO welcomed fresh faces to the band, ushering in a new era for Boys Night Out.
The new members (Bassist Scott Komer - producer and engineer for You Are My Canvas, Make Yourself Sick, Fifty Million People Can’t Be Wrong, Drummer Matt McCausland and Guitarists Joe Baldasio & Jet Turner) brought diverse influences and a fresh energy, adding a unique flavor to the band’s live sound while honoring the essence of what made the group so beloved in the first place.
Their reunion, which featured a mix of classic songs from the band’s entire catalogue, allowed the band to reconnect with old fans and attract a new generation of listeners.
Boys Night Out’s reunion isn’t just about nostalgia; it is a celebration of growth and reinvention. Their revitalized lineup and evolving sound proved that the band was ready to build on their legacy, continuing to push musical boundaries and create an exciting future for both themselves and their fans.
